Chapter 104: The Feast of Flowers
Eating is indeed just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, and the eldest princess naturally won't mind, after all, this is also a banquet of flowers for those candidates.
But Gu Yanbai's purpose is not just to simply eat, Gu Yanbai is counting on after eating.
After the end of the Hundred Flowers Feast, there will be another event, that is, there will be a lively event similar to the Lantern Festival.
On the one hand, it is to strengthen the mutual communication between students, and on the other hand, it is also a place to date Gu Yanbai and Mingyuexi.
So Gu Yanbai definitely didn't want to take Gu Qianqian with him, after all, who knows if he will always be pestered to follow him after eating?
If he followed, wouldn't his date with Mingyuexi be in vain again.
But now that Mingyuexi has preemptively agreed, it will be too late for Gu Yanbai to veto it.
"I'll just talk to the eldest princess about this matter later."
Seeing that Gu Yanbai also agreed, Gu Qianqian was also very excited.
"Thank you, brother, I'm going to dress up and make sure I won't embarrass my brother when the time comes!"
Gu Qianqian ran away as she spoke, and the words before she ran away seemed to have some meaning against herself after listening to Mingyuexi.
Mingyuexi himself doesn't like how to dress up, even in this Hou Mansion, he has never deliberately dressed up. Even Mingyuexi's baggage doesn't have any rouge gouache in it.
For a period of time, I thought that Mingyuexi had always relied on her delicate facial features to support the scene, so in Gu Qianqian's opinion, this Mingyuexi's appearance was ordinary, and if she dressed up a little, she would definitely be able to step on Mingyuexi under her feet.
"Boring."
Mingyuexi snorted coldly.
"I'm also a little tired, so I'll go back to my room and go to bed first."
After Mingyuexi left, Gu Yanbai suddenly felt that it was not interesting, so he went back to his room to sleep.
When he returned to the room, he slept for a night, and he slept very heavily that night, Gu Yanbai had a lot of dreams, but after waking up, he couldn't remember any of them.
Looking at the sky outside the window, the sun was about to rise, Gu Yanbai cleaned up himself and pushed the door and walked out.
Originally, he just wanted to take a turn along the Hou Mansion to refresh himself, but unconsciously he walked to the door of Mingyuexi's room.
glanced at the door of the room, and thought about not disturbing Mingyuexi's rest, but at this time, Mingyuexi's door opened by itself.
"Huh? Why are you standing at my door? ”
Mingyuexi asked with a little curiosity, which also made Gu Yanbai a little embarrassed.
"I'll just come out in the morning and go around, didn't this just turn to you."
"Oh, I see, I still want to go out and buy some new clothes, do you want to come with me?"
Mingyuexi's initiative to invite was naturally something that Gu Yanbai couldn't ask for, after all, there were not many opportunities for him to contact Mingyuexi alone on weekdays, but now that Mingyuexi took the initiative to invite, Gu Yanbai naturally had no reason to refuse.
After Gu Yanbai agreed, the two sides left the waiting house with a smile, but this scene happened to be seen by Gu Qianqian.
"Okay, you Mingyuexi, you like to seduce others so much, right? At tonight's Hundred Flowers Banquet, I must make you lose face! Just wait and see! ”
Gu Qianqian scolded in a low voice and also walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, but his destination was the Great General's Mansion, because he wanted to find Shen Mengyi to discuss the means to deal with Mingyuexi tonight.
After shopping around the street for most of the day, Rao is Mingyuexi is a little tired.
With a new set of clothes, new jewelry, and new shoes, he returned to the Hou Mansion. At this time, it happened that Shen Mengyi also came here, saying that she was looking for Gu Qianqian to go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet together.
In the end, the four of them went to the eldest princess's mansion together.
The mansion of the eldest princess was already crowded at this time, and most of the students here were those students who participated in the imperial examination, and they all had their own achievements here.
Of course, most of these people have not gained any fame, so now that the eldest princess has set up this hundred flowers banquet, they naturally want to take this opportunity to get close to the eldest princess or other dignitaries, so that they can also add some possibilities to their future careers.
And the purpose of the eldest princess is exactly that.
Who can guarantee that these people who do not make it to the scientific examination will have no talent? If they are developed and prosperous in the future, they will be able to take care of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess doesn't like power, but in this tide, he also knows that if he doesn't have any strength at all, he may naturally be difficult to protect himself in the future, so he has to build his own network now, not for anything else, just for himself to be able to live a stable life in the family, and for his future children to be able to have some convenience.
"I invite all students here today, firstly, to hold a celebration banquet for high school students, and secondly, to encourage other students who have failed to make the list not to be discouraged, if they are talented, they will eventually bloom."
"The first dish of today's Hundred Flowers Feast is not a dish, but the wine in your cup."
The eldest princess said and directly picked up the wine glass in front of her.
"This wine is called Baihua Wine, which is made from the petals of more than 100 kinds of flowers, and its taste is fragrant and hides agarwood. The purpose of brewing this wine is to wish my court a hundred talents to compete, and the other is to wish all students a hundred flowers! Everyone, please drink this cup to your heart's content! ”
The eldest princess said that she drank it all first. And the students in the audience were even more excited by the eldest princess's words, and they drank the wine glasses one by one.
After this first glass of wine, the eldest princess sat down.
Gu Yanbai, on the other hand, picked up the wine jug and poured a little for Mingyuexi.
"Taste?"
"What's the matter, do you still want to me?"
The corners of Mingyuexi's mouth moved slightly, and her face was already a little drunk.
In the final analysis, Mingyuexi is still not strong enough to drink. After all, the purity of this ancient wine is relatively high, not to mention that it is called Baihua Liquor, which is still made from more than 100 kinds of flower petals, and its aroma and purity cannot be generalized compared with other wines.
Seeing Mingyuexi, his face was a little red, and he was a little drunk, Gu Yanbai hesitated for a moment and then withdrew the wine glass.
"Forget it, I'm afraid there will be problems if you drink it any more."
"What are you doing? I'm telling you, I can drink a lot! Don't say it's you, I'll drink two of you'll be fine! ”
Mingyuexi said that she was going to snatch the wine glass back, but this was the eldest princess's mansion, but she couldn't mess around.
